Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, Feb. L-Churchin is slowly but surely
climbing back to his old influence, his speech
last night being distinct success. He stood for
an hour with his nose in the air surveying every
part OF the house in turn from his familiar stand
point OF conscious superiority and independence
The liberal unionfst alliance he declared he had
never regarded as other than a useful crutch. As
for Chamberlains latest suggestion for a "roun-
DER round table at which Salisbury and Glad
stone should meet, he laughed at it. He spoke
contemptuously OF Chamberlain's extraordinary
girations. and asserted strongly that his resg-
nation was not upon the question OF fortifying
coaling stations. but general retrenchment He
challenged his late colleagues to appoint special
committee to inquire into the army and navy esti-
mates. SIT is not the first time" he added in con-
clusion, .tt has been my i'll fortune TO wrestle
with the tory party but ON this great question OF
reerehchment and economy patiently

PARNELL's AMENDMENT TO THE ADDRESS
causes some surprise by the apparent clumsiness
with which 1t is drawn, mixing up the agraI1an
crisis with the reform OF the government. This
may be Strategefcally necessary but IL is neither
lucid nor logical These two qualities he doubtless
reserved for his speech.

Praise and ELAINE for Lord Randolph.
LONDON, Feb. 1.-The Mdndard congratulates
house OF commons last night in the debate on the
address in reply to the queens speech and says
his e1Ort was success. II thinks, however, that
LORD Randolph would have done better to have left
the economic question alone, and especially when
there are questions that Germany meditates in
y1t1ng France TO consent To terms for real peace
His reference to the iberal-unionistS, the Staad-
ard says, was also unhappy, for the union is too
stable to be hurt thereby.
